I had designed to post about the Chemistry paper yesterday, but I was too busy getting owned by the final boss of Little King's Story. Following that, there was a little bit of bridge and it was topped of with some Mario Kart Wii. After that, I was this close to sitting down to type something, but my conscience suddenly spawned in front of me and I was consumed with guilt 2 seconds later.
Preparing for Mathematics examinations always makes me feel insecure. If I decide to practice early, I would feel really confident because I would be under the impression that time is on my side. However, when it comes to the day before the test, I would start getting really stressed. Pressured by my own expectation to perform, I would get a boding feeling that my doom is impending. But surely enough, the Math paper would come and I would be able to answer everything on time. Whether the paper is done accurately or not is another issue.
Anyway, the Chemistry paper was manageable. It was a good thing that I learnt about time issues during the last papers a few months back. This time, I started from section C, and moved down through B to A. What that achieved was that instead of being forced to leave 20 marks blank like I did in the common tests, the time imposed on me only serve to give me a single minute for my multiple choice questions. I did the easiest looking question on the first page in about twenty seconds. The answer was C. Just like I suspected. C is statistically (statistics taken from non-reliable sources) the most frequent answer. With that in mind, I spent the remaining time shading C for all my options. Fingers crossed, but inspection of the question paper shows that I should be getting about five marks. That is not too bad at all.
I would have to hold my comments for the Math paper though. Two things might happen when I get my paper back. I would either attain gloating rights for getting on the deans list, or my exam script could burst into a confetti of angst. Either way, it is going to be an emotional moment. It is a bit like professing your love for someone. Whatever the outcome, you get all the internal drama.
Finally, the final lap. Once tomorrow is over, I can stop thinking about the promotional exams and start working on project work once again. The fun really never stops coming. My sources also tells me that I have a year of tests and examinations waiting for me in 2010. But why destroy the present with problems of the future? It is time to celebrate! Oh wait, I almost forgot. We shall dine with carefree hearts and spirits tomorrow. Except for you humanities students.
